Cropping the file would degrade the quality. I have uploaded separately a bettter resolution file here. — Racconish ^💬 12:34, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for uploading the other file, which is much better. But, I was wondering isn't that extra black border unnecessary? --Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 12:57, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, but removing it would lower the quality of the video without educaitonal benefit. You can give it a try with Commons:VideoCutTool as a separate file. — Racconish ^💬 13:09, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Delete the soundtrack, please! - MPF (talk) 16:09, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello @MPF, how do you know the sountrack is not free? @Vis M, you uploaded this file, can you provide information on the music added? Thanks! Skimel (talk) 11:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

The music is most likely non-free. I only transferred the video from the Flickr of an original photographer. Forgot about the audio, sorry. —Vis M (talk) 13:33, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Alright, I tried to remove the audio but to no avail, you can use https://videocuttool.wmcloud.org/ to do it. Skimel (talk) 17:14, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Remove piano playing demonstration in otherwise public-domain 1917 movie

:This section was archived on a request by: — Racconish 💬 07:19, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

This version originally had a score being played in the background by an actual person, and this shows their hands as they played. Unfortunately, both the score, and (technically!) the hand demonstration, are under copyright. Therefore, can someone somehow edit the tiny demo in the bottom-right corner out of the video, while preserving original quality? @Racconish: Do you know how to do this? Because I have no idea how to do it with ffmpeg. PseudoSkull (talk) 23:55, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Extracting all frames from video

Article(s): s:Wikisource:WikiProject Film/Drafts/Sherlock Holmes (1916 film)

Request: Extract all the frames from this video as images, with filenames including the timestamps, and send them to me.

I'm working on transcribing this film, and it would be a lot easier if I could browse the frames as still images, which would allow me to know exactly where all the frames with words are and when they show up. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 11:02, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s):

@CalendulaAsteraceae: hi,

It's not the appropriate place to request the upload of every frame of a 1:54:17 video!!

6857 seconds @ 24 frames per seconds: 164 568 frames (pictures), without any interest as long as the video exists.

Please, consider using video tools on your own workstation to obtain these images for your own purposes.

Yours, En rouge (talk) 00:07, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

@En rouge: Fair enough! I'll poke at video scene filter in VLC some more and see if I can get it working. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 12:27, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

@CalendulaAsteraceae: hi, I don't know if VLC is appropriate for your project.

Personally, to inspect video frame by frame, I like this (Windows) tool (sorry): VirtualDub2 [1].

Moreover, deleting part of the stream can be straightforward using mark in/out to select the segment to delete. Yours, En rouge (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

You can do this with ffmpeg. Under Windows, the code would be : ffmpeg -i Sherlock Holmes (1916).webm -vf "drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf: text='%{pts\:hms}': x=(w-tw)/2: y=h-(2*lh): fontcolor=white: box=1: boxcolor=0x00000000@1" out%03d.png. — Racconish ^💬 06:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Examples of jingles + audio mnemonics?

Article(s): m:Communications/Sound_Logo/Sound_collaboration

Request

Examples + help making audio mnemonics for wikiprojects

There's recently a move to develop sound logos and other audio shorthands for the projects, starting with one for spoken Wikimedia content that appears in audio streams (personal agents, &c.) We also have a sizable body of audio recordings of articles, and of community essays or blog posts. This leads into intro/outro sequences for videos, but that's worth its own request later :) ----SJ+ 02:08, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

convert podcast 'videos' with non-free still images into sound files

The files in Category:Blaue Couch are videos of a high-quality podcast by German public broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk that have been properly released under a free license on YouTube. However, the still images used in the files are copyrighted. Therefore, we need to convert the videos into sound files so we do not have to delete the files altogether.

Debbie Does Dallas (NSFW), remove repeating 4-second clip

File:Debbie Does Dallas.ogv

The clip from around 59:49 to 59:54 repeats from around 59:54 to 59:59. I attempted to cut the repeating segment out of the video, but somehow ended up with a file that's read by players as being 28 hours long(!!!), and while the clip's audio synced, the beginning of the spliced clip was just a still frame. I think this may be related to some weird errors I've been getting from FFMPEG about the impurity of this OGV file (which I'm not wizardly enough with the specifics of how video files work to know why it's impure). @Racconish: Or anyone else: Is it possible to fix this? PseudoSkull (talk) 19:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Converting video files into sound files

Hey dear community,
could someone please extract the audio from the following video files and upload them as a new file version and delete the old file version? It could be that these images are unfree in the respective video file. :) (Category where the files are categorized: Category:1_Thema,_2_Farben)

I hope I have not forgotten any file.

Hi @Gatto bianco: you made the same request, here and in c:GL/I GIF creation request, on the same date.

Moreover, no indication, no links between the requests.

Please avoid this!

Luckily, the two graphists : @Tfbybyhf and 痛: have different solutions to your need. This improves the amount of animated GIFs available.

I duplicate – me too – this comment for the given annoyance, in the other page. Yours, En rouge (talk) 14:10, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
